After two months of searching and more than 1,000 nominations, 12 regional winners have been found in our Mum of the Year competition.

The mums are featured on the website of Netmums, with details of the outstanding work they do in their local community.

We started the search with Netmums as a way of celebrating mums, who we think don’t get their fair share of praise. After all, actors, sports stars, even politicians get their own awards, so why not something that celebrates the achievement of mums?

The stories we’ve received have been truly heart-warming, why not take a look through and tell us which one inspires you most.
